This morning I am sitting in an airport on my way to Denver and I can't help reflecting on the early morning workout. I went for a run before the city woke up and opted for a route different than normal. Upon hitting the street I headed down past Boulevard Brewing Company, a local brewer with a phenomenal selection of incredible beers. The area around the brewery is packed full of Mexican restaurants with their lights off and warehouses that rest a few hours before their workers show up and wake the forklifts from their slumber. The streetlights line the deserted street and the city skyline illuminates the rest. As I was running, I was surprised by an overpowering scent of jasmine and lilac from some landscaping above a graffiti mural along the road. Admittedly I despise running but for a moment this morning I was in pure bliss with my lungs opened up and a sweet smell in my nostrils. It was both a strange juxtaposition in an urban setting and a slice of heaven at the same time. Now I have to board and then get to work but I hope Monday is a good one for you.

Enjoy!
